In recent years, Friedrichshain has become a trendy district in Berlin and, together with the neighbouring districts of Mitte, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg, shapes Berlin's popular East City.
In recent years, future-oriented industries such as entertainment or the media and information industry have settled there on a large scale. Successful media people and creative people find an exciting environment here: restaurants and city beaches, clubs and shops and cultural institutions give the quarter a distinctive profile and make it particularly attractive for an international audience.
The large number of state, private and international schools makes the district equally interesting for families. Good shopping opportunities are offered by small owner-operated shops in Frankfurter Allee or large shopping centres around Ostbahnhof. The Volkspark Friedrichshain offers opportunities for sports, leisure and recreation in the countryside, as does the Friedrichshain Spreeufer.
The district as a whole has a wide and varied range of gastronomic offerings in various price categories, and numerous cafes and restaurants invite you to linger. Optimal connections to the public transport system are provided by a large number of underground/S-Bahn stations, the bus network and the tram.
